Recipe Name
Carrot Hummus
Method
- Cook the carrots in boiling salted water until soft. Drain and allow to cool. Place in a food processor or blender with the tahina, chickpeas, half the garlic, half the lemon juice and the 3 tbsp olive oil.
- Blend to a paste. Check consistency – you will probably need to add a few tablespoons of water to loosen the hummus to a dipping texture.
- Blend again. Now taste and keep adding more garlic, lemon juice, cumin and salt and pepper, blending and tasting until it is as you like it.
- Serve on a plate garnished with a sprinkle of paprika and/or black olives, and a trickle of olive oil.
